How have you all been? I have been trying out something new.I have tried to do something related to my profession. As may of you know I am a history teacher to high school students. So I thought, maybe I can do something related that. Do watch the video and let me know what you think. Leave your feedback in the comments section below.

I'm quite happy with this month's bag. I'm looking forward to using the Shower Gel and Body Lotion and the Blush. I've already used the Chambor body mist and I've loved it! Watch this space for detailed reviews of these products!!

Inveda BB Cream comes in a plastic squeeze tube packed in a cardboard carton. The packaging is cute and handy and can be carried around in your purse. The formula is quite runny and takes a little while to blend into the skin. It looks a bit ashy on my skin during the blending process but settles in about 15 minutes time. It has a pleasant powdery fragrance. This product comes only in a single shade. It will leave a whitish cast on duskier complexions. It gives very little coverage and even if you have minor skin imperfections, you will need a concealer. The product did not even out my skin. I did require a dusting of pressed to set the product.

Its USP is that its paraben free. It has SPF 20 and is meant for all skin types. Its not oily, though my T-zone looked shiny in a couple of hrs. The product did not oxidise for about 4 hrs.

However, the formula tends to look patchy and you need to exfoliate your skin for a smooth application. This product is meant for younger skin with few imperfections. Not quite for me ;) .

Pros:

Paraben Free

Has SPF

Handy packaging

Pleasant powdery fragrance

Stays for about 4 hrs before fading and oxidising.

Cons:

Comes in a single shade

Leaves a whitish cast on duskier complexion

Patchy finish.

Very little coverage.

Need to exfoliate before application to get an even finish.

Overall Verdict: 2.5/5. There are better products in the market at this price point though they may not be paraben free.

Hey Everyone!
Towards the fag end of 2014, Colorbar launched their Deep Matte Lip Creme range. I bought it sometime in Jan and had starte work on the review, but things came up and I found this sitting in Drafts. So here it is now..

Product Claim:

Product Price: INR 675/- for 6ml of product

My Take on the Product:

Very similar to NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream/Butter, Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Creme comes in a silver colour carton. The product itself comes in a transparent plastic tube with a silver cap. It has a doe-foot, sponge applicator. The product formula itself is of a creamy, buttery consistency. It has excellent pigments which gives true colour in a single swipe. As for being matte, it doesn't give a true matte finish but has a creamy sheen to it after application. As of now there are 10 shades in this range from pinks, browns, a rust and a red.

The color that I picked up is called Deep Red (001). Its a nice wearable red with slightly yellow undertones. It will suit most Indian skin tones. However, you need to be careful with the application. If you apply too much product it tends to feather and bleed. The product is fairly long lasting. It lasted for about 6 hrs on me with some drinking and eating. However, the product is not transfer resistant. The product is not exactly weightless but does not feel uncomfortable. It is moisturizing and does not stick to the dry bits of the lips, unlike most matte lip products.

Pros:

Sturdy, transparent plastic tube packaging

Wearable red.

Suits most Indian skin tones

Great colour pay-off.

Good applicator, enables even application.

Moisturising

Fairly long lasting (6hrs on me)

Easy to remove.

Has no smell.

Cons:

Does not list ingredients

Not transfer resistant

Bleeds and feathers if more than optimum amount of product applied.

Overall Verdict: 4/5. Overall I liked this product and wil be picking up a few more shades.

So what do you think? Have you tried this lip creme? Which shades have you tried? Let me know in the comments section below..
